A Favorable Winter.

A recent number of the Laramie (Wy-
oming) Boomrang has the following in re-
lation to the stock outlook in that territory
which, from present appearances, may be
fttingly applied to Montana: "This win
ter bids fair to be one of the most favor
able ever bestowed upon Wyoming. The
frightful sceptre of devastation and
death, whose fierce coming in the guise of
the storms of November, was predicted
has disappeared from even the sight of the
most timid. The wiping out of the great
cattle interests of the Northwest, the hor-
ribls and pitiable deaths of the animals
themselves, the failure of investments, and
of fortunes wrecked amid billiards and
snow drifts, are no longer shudderingly
whispered of in private, or publicly 1aun-
ted in Eastern editorials and head lines.
The great annual scare is over, and the
slarmists of 1885 are now at liberty to per-
feet themselves as the liars of 1887"

DANCING FOR JOY.
A New Depot Gives the Young Pco-

On Tuesday night, March Goth, a magnifi-

pIetion CT the new depot, Nerdery, Augusta
and Knoxville Railroad.
The building is not only an ornament to our
little town, but furnishes every accommo-
dation necessary for the travelling public: a
nice office, and two splendid waiting rooms,
something that has been very much needed
and long looked at this place.
1t was with the greatest pleasure I entered
the hall, all lighted up in brilIiancy. The
weather was unfavorable, but after all the
hall was scene quite picturesque; it was Il
place certainly charming. for l never saw a
party bonored with as many beautiful ladies
and handsome mel. \ number Of visitors
were present. Everything combined to rem
der the occasion one OF rare enjoyment and
the evening passed off Sercncly.
The music was exceedingly good, and
dancing lasted until a late hour. But with
that lovely waltz, "HOme, Sweet Homc,''
and the fairies gliding over the floor in their
lovliness and grace, ended the programme,
and all parted amid signs and regrets.
